Sorry I couldn't make it. Got some kind of acid stomach and felt very sick. Better luck on the 16th.

I agree...... I nearly got up off my seat and pointed out the exit signs..... but since I was not the organizer last week, I had to keep my trap shut... not easy for me!!!

It's not a workshop as such. Someone can point you in the right direction though. Please post it if Tracy is coming. I found her 'Art' idea sophomoric at best and her self promotion a little too much.

Thanks Caroline. It's just that being a total beginner with you all, I have yet to find out exactly what we can, or cannot, discuss at our meetings. That said, to hear the experiences of others (be they good or bad) would be interesting.

Is Tracy with the autography and the piano descending upon us tomorrow night?

Dunno what happened there, my earlier comment did not get in... anyway I would raise the question of whether synopsis review is appropriate in a group setting, as we would need to know the publisher's requirements before hand..... this is what I have been told in numerous writing and publishing work shops.... Andrew, Bill, Tony - any comments?

Hi, Andrew, Would it be possible for you (either on 2nd March - or at any future Meetups) to devote a little of our time together towards helping us create synopses which are agent/publisher friendly? Thanks. See you tomorrow, Alastair
